Huddersfield Town are this season’s surprise package in the Premier League and Leicester City will not be under-estimating them, striker Kelechi Iheanacho has vowed.

David Wagner’s newly promoted side have picked up seven points from their first four games in the Premier League, and Iheanacho said City know they have momentum and confidence ahead of their clash tomorrow at the John Smith’s Stadium.

In contrast, City have picked up just three points and Iheanacho admits they have to start turning performances into points.

It has been a tough start for City, having lost at Arsenal and Manchester United as well as being pipped 2-1 at home by champions Chelsea last weekend.

“I think it would be a big boost for us to get three points,” said Iheanacho.

“We’ve lost three games and have three points, so we need to keep working hard.

“As we prepare, they are too, so we need to do more to get what we want. We’re down there at the bottom but that’s not what we want. We want to be up there.

“Everyone that’s watched us knows that we’re playing well and doing well in every game, but the points are not coming.

“That’s what we need to put in place to make sure that we get three points against Huddersfield.

“Every team that’s promoted to the Premier League wants to be safe, they don’t want to go back.

“If they get a win, they could maybe go high up the table. That will be a surprise.

“They’re doing well to be up there and I’ve played them before in a cup game for Man City (Iheanacho scored in a 5-1 win).

“They’re a really good side. We need to go there and fight for 90 minutes.

“They’re at home so they’ll feel comfortable. We need to fight and get three points.”
